A letter was received this morning at Lu.oyn'a Coiree-house, from an agent of that estubliihmeni, itonouncing the formal Declaration of War the Brazilian Government against the Republic of Buenos Ayres. We subjoin a copy of this c ommunication : " Rio JANET ne e DEC. 17. " On the 10th inst. a formal Declaration of II;ur wit; made 11 , the Brazilian Oovernutent against the United Provin"ces of th. River Plata. Sever' cruizers, under the Patriot flog, have I PPeared off the Coast, and captured a few vessels belo►igiu to „this place ; but, with one exception, weitave nut litzat of their Naming any vessel under the British flag." it will he seen by the following intelligence fr ° l n Rio Janeiro, extracted from a New York Paper, that the decision of the Brazilian Go. , hITIMPtit 'for war Was getter:4ly outierstood.lw„ ( hat city et the date of the communication :-- Nt:w Yortx., The ship Nimrod, Captain Fowler, arrived yesterday in H 7 4 44 front Lima, brings the following news Rro DE JANEIRO, Nov. 3t).—lt is currently reported that the Braiilian Government tin conbequence of disPatebes r tteived.by the Brazilian brig (if war Caboele, arrived lie,t even ing from Monte Video) is going to declare war imin4.lliately against Buenos Ayres; and that Captain Taylor will be up. P u inted to command the squadron at the River la Plata. Seve. :14 vessels lately arrived have been robbed by privateers about The line ; one of them, a slave ship, had her cargo, 250 slaves, taken out of her. " Several transports, with 2,000 troops, sailed for Monte Video fifteen days since, under convoy of a frigate and two 11100 14 of war. The decisive victory obtained by the Patriots "or the Brazilian troops on the 12th of October, has had a tendency to destroy all confidence which the latter reposed in their military discipline, better equip &c. The loss on the Brazilian side was 400 killed ; 470 Privates and 52 officers prisoners ; a large number of small 411313 ., military stores, &c. The Brazilian 04, Commodore J ewett, had just arrived from Bahia. " Sir Charles Stuart left Rio recently for Bahia in the llia mend frigate, and it was said would return here. " The liMpress was delivered of an heiress on the morning of the 211 December." This intelligence was received by the packet ship William Byrnes, (to the 25th of January), arrived at Liverpool, the papers brought by which were received last night ►►t the North and South American Subscription Room. It might seem that the efforts of Sir C. STEWAIIT to reconcile the differences between the Govern ments had bee►► unsuccessful. No conclusive ()Pinion can li/Weyer:be formed, until we have 'clrinntmications from Sir C. STUART. Tile French Papers of Tuesday contain no n ews. They give, however, a rumour that Spain. blid at last acknowledged the independence of I ' ll 4 NmrStrite4. of America, and that the Em. l' a ror of A usriltrA was dangerously ill. Thi s t iltrlour would appear to require some confirm. ti " before it can be entitled to the smallest credit.

Military Colonies, which French and knish journals, . espectely an article In the - Jour nel des De bate, written by Xl.l. de Chateaubriand, have so severely r!eprehended as a ' , movement retrograde de civilization; :incl. ' . ainted in such threatening colours by Dr. Ily ituna.- This may i T e inferred from ie official expre s sions , though the Etnperur icholas has, fur the present; confirmed them, and it is sup used will entrust the superintendenice of them to 'General iebitsch.• Properly considered, they are the superlatives of the most rigorous-feudal 'system ; -- cost intAculable sums; to which even the vast resources of the Russian ; empire Are hardly Pequal, interfere, in a very serious manner, with the - right of roperty,- and but too forcibly remind us of the Castro. Stativa of the Rowan frontier legions, or colonies of veterans, in which the germ of the must'ruinous civil *ars was ,soots deve- Ipped. It is generally believed that the Emperor Alexander himself formed the k syi trot . Military Colonies, according to the arrangements bef zisting in - the South . aml East Fruit tiers of the Empire, a rave - the execution of it to General Aral;tscheje, whose scrupulous punctuality . in executing ,the .i . intietiallshittnitridst, and 4ftexorable . severity,.

It is certain 'that 'ffe'llesieral %hewed inconquerable perseverance in overcomi;u the increasing difficulties of the colonization of alreedy more than 1110, - 000 sol diers, and drew down on himself all the odium that this vast measure caused. It seems extremely doubtful, thotigh affirmed by sonic person!, that Alexander had at. the very last withdrawn from hun a part of his boundless confidence. But it appears certain that he asked the new Emperor, a few days ago fir permission to travel out of the em pi re , Whi c h was g r ant e d lihn without restrictitin, so that he will henceforward reside in Naples, retaining his whole salary. People are, with reason, curious to know to whom the very . extensive sphere of action Idled by the Araktiteliejeff wilt be assigned, and who will be Minisfer of War. Perhaps General Dichitsek,.tho confiden tial Adjutant-General of Alexander, may be destined to act a still more importent part. , . . • . • We extract from, the Dutch Papers the follow ing De.Cre°ofFell. 8, 1826, which revokes that of Auguht 11, 1824, containing preliminary regt.f , !talons rellitive to ..the import duties on goods brought by vessel.; under the Etizlish dog : ",We, ZS'ill&c. com4idering that in consequence of tho Orders in 'Council of, the British nuent, dated the 30th.of January ; last, a change has been made in the circum. htAnces which gave rise to our decree of• August 11, 1824 (see Official Journal, No. 4.1), ordering that ail Merehantlize which, d iet i ng f r om the 14th of the said month, should be export :d from. the United Kingdom of Great Britain into our ittngdom by vessels under the Englteh flag, should be provisionally-corm. tiered and treated, with revect, to. the import tluties,; as; it'the importation had taken place in national vessels . : " On the proposal of the , DepArtment or Foreign Affairs, and after concerting with,the Department of the Interior, and the Administration of the direct taxes, the import.and export duties and excise, have decreed and decree— " Dating from the 11th of this month, our decree of the 11th August, 1824, is revoked, and shall remain without effect.
